We need to eliminate or limit kickbacks next. This is a monumental decision for inmates & their families, but long-term progress can be made by getting rid of commissions, particul…

We should talk; My goals with Penmate[1] are somewhat similar. Technology can and _will_ disrupt this [1] http://penmateapp.com
